This video is quite helpful for faculty of all disciplines to offer students guidance as to writing a succesful article critique. Many beginning graduate students have never written such a critique in their undergraduate career; this video sets standards and relieves graduate faculty from having to devote class time to teaching students how to do an assignment that the course requires.Technical Remarks:Transcript available; another video in the six-part series covers how to read critically and summarize material.

Similar to other mind-mapping tools. More complicated to use than comparable programs such as SimpleMind. Cost is also a bit prohibitive. The user is allowed three free mind-maps; the next level of usage is at time of this review $6 a month. One could possibly achieve the same results for free with Word Art in Microsoft Word.Technical Remarks:You have to sign up with an email address and password. This information may be used to try to sell the upgraded services.

Starts out as a real survey but then turns into a request for information that tries to sell the test taker into buying a full report. One could take the quiz and not reveal any personal information and not buy the report, but the value of the site may be then diminished as the results show up as a percentage on a grid.For fun, I took the quiz three times and gave the same answers on the first (and main) 25 questions. But I answered the personal data in wildly different ways each time. Yet each time the percentage point of where I showed up on the grid was identical.Lots of ads.

This site, MindTools, is a collection of quick interactive exercises, articles, and videos to amplify aspects of business communication. Working adults will appreciate the guidelines presented in the article on handling difficult conversations; the results of the quiz entitled "What Kind of Communicatgor Are You?" is a good exercise for students to do as preparation for the first day of a business communication course since it lends itself well to discussion.

This documentary, teamed with a study of John Kotter's Steps to Effective Change, can be eye-opening to many business students who are used to the idea that change is bad. In today's economic environment, many working adults have suffered through change initiatives that failed due to poor communication and/or poor initiation of the change. This video compares two GM plants who were told to change in two different manners and as a result had vastly different results. The differences are clearly delineated and apply themselves well to any discussion of organizational behavior, organizational communication, business strategy, or leadership.The video is easy to watch; the materials also include a transcript for those who prefer to read or who don't have time to access a video. It should lend itself well to a discussion of how to communicate change and why.
